This is an article on How to super charge you're Android phone. The article can be found in Maximum PC magazine the March 2011 issue.
First thing first the device used in this article is was a Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket which is quite old but is certainly no slouch. This article gives a few details such as installing a custom recovery image to install Cyanogen Mod and does involve rooting which is not universal for every device on the market as not every device runs the same security features and the same version of Android.
To install a custom Rom on newer Samsung Galaxy devices requires a PC and a USB data cable as well as an Internet connection. To install a custom Rom you will need to find the correct kernel image that contains a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod recovery or any recovery based on CWM the last 2 programs you will need are Odin Or Heimall these are you're flashing programs but be advised about a few things as Odin is Windows only and Heimdall can be used on OSX, Windows, or Linux but in Windows drivers installed for Heimdall can only be used in Heimdall and for the easiest way on Flashing in Heimdall use Heimdall-Frontend as that is the GUI for Heimdall. If you are new to flashing firmware or anything always pay attention to the instructions and NEVER FLASH A BOOT LOADER as a bad bootloader flash will literally make you're device a paper weight.
So if you don't want to flash custom firmware there are still a couple of tips you can use with or without rooting your device. The first way of speeding up you're device is to manage you're tasks and avoid applications that require services to constantly stay running Android has a built in way of managing those applications as any device running 2.2 or higher applications have the right to run at start up. To get you're running tasks goto Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Running and you will see the running services on you're device you may chose which applications you don't running. However this can be a time consuming task to avoid doing this down Advance Task Killer when you have it installed go to home and add the widget and tap the widget to close running applications and voila feel a faster device with better battery life.
--> The next way speeding up you're device is to install the V6 super charger to install it you will have to root you're device and install Busy Box. To install a script is going to be pretty tricky on a stock Rom as certain mods only work on custom Roms. To install Busy Box head over to the Play Store and install Busy Box the latest version is recommended now and allow when it request root rights then go to the Play Store and download Script Manager and locate the script and only run as root then follow the instructions and reboot to apply the changes.
